If I didn't have a container of salted caramel Gelato with chocolate caramels, I might have had the right conditions... Who am I kidding? If I ever wrote about a haunted criminal's perspective, the guy would have been caught immediately by his own blunders.

You've got two hits for Gemma.   I'm hiding all our throw pillows from you.

You are the author of Gemma! I've said it from the moment I finished it. :)

I really only have three that I feel more than "dunno" about. 

Gemma @CassieQ

Undeliverable @Ieshwar

Wrong Window @Thirdly or @CassieQ

Coffee With Supervision @Lee Wilson

And one other that I definitely know but I promised I wouldn't say anything. 

Just The Facts, Man @Myr

Those are the three I'm the most confident about. Like 15% I'm right.

my most wonderful steampunk princess, you are that good! :) Though Gemma is your jam, fits in with the one you wrote two years ago. Though I find it weird that you wrote two serial killer stories for Secret Author Contest. :)

Now that I say it outloud, I could be mistaken. I wonder if Cia would let me have my guess over again.

Two years ago I wrote Nox or Not.  Which was not serial killer-y.  It was charming and delightful like me.

Did I have you mixed up with someone else? Really? You didn't write about a guy who murdered someone with a syringe for a secret author contest? If that's true, I need to rethink things in a serious manner

I murdered people for 2 years ago, but it wasn't with a syringe.

But you always kind of murder people, which is why I strayed from the other cat stories about more death, I thought this year you were going to go more light hearted. But I still think Murder and Tom story you also wrote.
